Kid-friendly holiday rentals in San Luis Obispo

I have stayed in a million Airbnbs over the years and this was by far the best experience I have ever had. The house was impeccable, pristine and so beautiful. The view is incredible. Sitting on the patio at night and watching the sunset or sitting in the hot tub under the stars was the best part of everyday. However, as incredible as the house was, April and her team were the real stars. They were so responsive to all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay. I have never had such a responsive and caring host. I will be dreaming of coming back here as soon as I can! Book it, you will be so glad you did!

Chelsea’s place is a gem in SLO. It is situated in a prime location where you can walk 1 min to the Co-Op grocery store or 4-5 min to restaurants nearby. The house itself had all the amenities listed and was very spacious. It was perfect for working remotely. Chelsea was very responsive prior to and during our stay. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended! This house is located in a private and quiet area. Once you get past the entrance gate, there’s a private road leading to the home, which offers a beautiful view to a neighboring field of grapevines. From inside the home, there’s a beautiful view to the fields. If you are in town for the wine culture, consider planning a visit to Willow Creek Wine Co., who offers amazing chenin blancs, and Union Sacre for ecclectic wines. Overall, great experience.

Here’s a polished and friendly review you can use for Airbnb: We loved our stay at Thomas’s place! The location is perfect—walking distance to great bars, restaurants, and just steps from the water. The space itself is super cute, private, and comfortable. Thomas has two cats and a dog, all incredibly friendly, but the real star of the show is his co-host, Sylvester the cat. He’s got a big personality and was happy to hang out with us as much as we let him. If you’re a cat lover, you’ll adore him. The house was stocked with a few thoughtful provisions, and we especially appreciated the ice cream bars—such a nice touch. Hopefully Thomas’s place is available the next time we’re in Los Osos. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Great stay at the cabin. Totally cute. Very clean. Coming from LA, it was so nice to get some quiet. Feels far away and peaceful while being just a short ride from the action. One of our most pleasant stays in SLO. Thank you!

Lovely stay in Baywood Bay with a communicative and kind host! There’s so much to do in the area and this is a great place to stay to explore all the fun things to do nearby. And the cottage is so cute!

The place had everything we could have needed. It was an easy walk to town, a park and several trails and was easy to find. The neighborhood was safe and we felt comfortable walking together and alone and any time of day or night. I misunderstood the key lock and Paige answered my call and immediately sent her son to help. We all highly recommend Paige and her house for any trip to SLO. Robin Torre

Nice renovated guest house with private out door deck. Great location next to Cal Poly.

Diane's Nottage was the best Airbnb I've stayed in recently - I am a clean freak, and this place did not disappoint! The ample counter space in the bathroom was a pleasure, as was the big, new shower and comfy living area. She clearly labeled all of the light switches which was a huge help. I loved the backyard garden and the overall layout of the Nottage - It felt so private and safe. I now want more reasons to visit SLO so I can book Diane's home again!!

I absolutely love staying at this location. It is perfect place to stay, it’s near everything and the view is priceless.

We're repeat guest to this Air BNB. I enjoy the locale and the ease of amenities within walking distance. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing.

Epic View of Bishop's Peak. Exactly the type of space I needed to feel right at home in San Luis Obispo. Karl was so friendly and always responsive.

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Mary Anne’s little oasis. It is the perfect size for two people with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable. I would definitely book another vacation at her place.

Absolutely loved the place. It was very quiet and secluded. I would definitely stay here again. Everything was clean. Trish and Terry had great communication. 10/10

Fantastic stay. Best Airbnb yet. Beautiful, clean, artful. We had all the amenities and more. The location is the best spot in Avila Beach. David and Mellissa anticipated all our questions.

We had a lovely weekend getaway for a friend's wedding in SLO & my birthday! Such a beautiful place & the perfect Airbnb to be near the ocean 💙

Great quiet place. 10 minutes away from downtown and CalPoly.

We loved our stay at Marianne’s flat! The apartment felt spacious, clean, and had beautiful views. The location was ideal, with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Marianne was very responsive and accommodated a later checkout time. We’d recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay here again in the future!

Loved Ken’s place. I loved the welcome note , the gift, and all the small extra details left for us to find. The Makeup Remover came in handy since I forgot mine at home. Thank you 😊.

Absolutely loved my stay at Amber’s place! The beach is right down the street, and the space felt perfect in size. It’s just like a master bedroom! I’m so glad there were coat hangers, and a dresser because I always overpack and had a ton of clothes I didn’t want wrinkled. I will definitely be coming back!

The place was very nice and clean and the instruction to find the place was very accurate. Make sure to read the notes shared to find the property as it is a little confusing to find the property if you only rely on the google map. The instructions make it very easy to find it. The property was nice, clean, big, and had all the things we needed and we definitely want to go back. The host is very responsive even when I messaged him at 11 pm and the property is 5 minutes from the beach.

10/10 amazing place! My family and I loved it as soon as we walked in. Very beautiful, clean, and a cool experience. Our plan to go to the beach went away and all we wanted to do was to stay at the house. So cozy and relaxing. Felt we were inside a magazine! A dream vacation and stay. Beds were comfortable, everything was working, plenty of towel, walkable to shops and beach, the rooftop was so fun and cool! Nothing bad to say about this place and in fact we want to come back! Thank you Courtney for being an amazing host!

This was our third stay at this beautiful Pismo Beach condo, and it truly feels like our home away from home. It’s become our favorite spot for our annual summer trip, and each time we return, it somehow gets even better. We noticed a few thoughtful updates since our last visit, and everything was just perfect. The view from the dining and living room is so stunning, we never even feel the need to go out for dinner—we’d rather enjoy every sunset right here. The place is fully stocked with everything you could need, making it easy and comfortable for our little family of four. We already can’t wait to come back!

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use or customize: ⸻ We had a fantastic stay at this beach condo! The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. Check-in/out was a breeze. I didn’t need to cancel but I appreciate their very fair cancellation policy. The location was surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the beach. The beds were very comfortable which is always a plus. Honestly, not one negative thing to say. We’d absolutely stay here again! ⸻ Let me know if you want to add anything specific about the location, decor, or amenities!
